I have a sword class for kids and they love it. It teahces them self discipline, confidence and tradition.
OK, I have to speak up here.
Mr. Morris, you are absolutely correct in that you don't have to answer to anybody. However, I feel that a few questions should be considered, even if you don't answer them. First, you're teaching kids how to wield a deadly weapon who's only purpose thoughout history was to kill people. While they may love it, and it may make you money, it is not something that should be done unthinkingly. Second, you say that it teaches them self discipline, confidence, and tradition. I don't see how this can be since you obviously have not had the self discipline to learn a traditional sword art before trying to teach others, and you have not learned the traditions of a Japanese sword art to be able to pass on to them. You are making something up and hoping that you can get somewhere close to be able teach these things, but you really haven't a clue since you've not learned them yourself.
You can do all of the justification you like sir, but the facts remain.
